The decorations in Valletta this Christmas are very simple but quite striking.
I suppose it was the local council’s way of bringing an ‘icy’ feel to our Mediterranean Christmas.
Our capital city may not be as large and imposing as other cities but it has its own innate charm.
And I think it photographs beautifully, even when night falls.
(I do hate those overhead wires though and I hope that they do something about them soon).

oh i love Christmas and Christmas decorations especially lights.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, indeed! :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many overhead wires in Vienna, among others above the tram lines, I have given up of finding angles not to get them into pictures. ;-)
It´s nice to see all the lights in the night. Have you seen some snow or frost in your city in the last years? Don´t you? I think I can send you a lot of them this year;-)) Hugs from Luzia.

ReplyDeleteThose photographs are lovely. I particularly like the arches of lights, gorgeous. Wish I was in Valletta at the moment away from all this cold. Have a lovely Christmas and a great year in 2011.
ReplyDeleteYou have just gorgeous decorations, wires and all! The white branches are intriguing and that last photo looks like a winter wonderland (in the Mediterranean Christmas).

You are totally right about the wires, they give an air of messy that the city don't have.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I say you're a great photographer and has managed to capture nice nuances about Malta.
Happy New Year Loree :)
Those are beautiful decorations - so much more ornate than the ones we have in our little town.
